I agree it was early and justified but more importantly I hate posting gimmicks even if Disco Elysium was a good game. ##vote Bifauxen

Bad vig shots d1 are a town use of the ability. Not pro-town, but indicative of a town mindset. Scum would save it for an actual threat or to bump up LYLO a day, or for town cred... Bif did none of those things.

iirc the wifom always going something like this: -the play was strictly anti-town -but it obviously attracts negative attention, which scum want to avoid -but that's just what they want us to think!

CCKeane posted:What? Bif isn't exactly a newbie vig, c'mon. Exactly. Firing like this doesn't give a scum vig any of the stuff that they want. Me defending her is an outlier in town reactions, and one she likely wouldn't count on. So it was largely a waste of an ability. Scum wouldn't do that, unless it was exceptionally funny, or revenge motivated. Scum Bif with a vig would be way more likely to try and get one of the tangential benefits of vigging someone rather than an early hipshot.

ive gotta admit im kind of annoyed that bif specifically chose to shoot yami, since yami doesnt exactly sign up for every single game and i like playing with him. i do appreciate the forcible thrusting of the game out of jokephase, but it was at the expense of someone who was literally asking for jokephase to be over *so he could play* ![]()

Grandicap posted:Exactly. Firing like this doesn't give a scum vig any of the stuff that they want. What? Yes, it does. It gets them one death closer to their win condition. Your response exactly shows why scum would think they could get away with a D1 vig

edit: i must have misremembered yami specifically trashing on jokephase, but that still seems to have been the implication. my feelings are the same

we could literally wifom about it forever. in my opinion there are far more detriments to bif's play as scum than town, but who's to say how many of these bif was taking into consideration before shooting. pros -extra town kill -people might wifom that you are town cons -jokephase obliterated -instant kneejerk suspicion -force scumbuds to take a stance on you -lost vig for use in better circumstances situational -odd number of day players = fewer votes required to execute

far more valuable than pursuing bif today, is being able to talk about something concrete like bif's vig shot. and dig into people's reactions to it. in that sense, bif really helped town get some momentum to start scumhunting

Meta read of Bif? These two go together. I could see a Steak scum, or a Keane scum, or an Amni scum trying something like this. They have a flair for the dramatic, pushing chaos. Not a thing I see in Bif. Her play is more methodical as scum. So, yeah. I feel strongly that Bif is town. I would feel strongly about a large swath of players engaging in the d1 hipshot day vig as being town, and be unconvinced about a much smaller sliver.

Idle Amalgam posted:Agreed Bad vote. ##vote Idle Amalgam Voting Bif for her use of the vig is incorrect, but not something that surprises me. This vote in particular is bad and scum centric. The single word Agreed on a post of someone else. Trying to tie it back to Sci. Taking no responsibility for the easy vote.

Bif has been posting exclusively as a character from that game that "dramatic, pushing chaos" could be a very apt descriptor for.

That is an interesting nugget of info. I still feel the same way that Scum-Bif wouldn't do it like that, but less strongly now.

So much for trying to post as a concert venue marque until the game really started moving. I'm with whoever said that a day 1 vig is basically null to me. I'm also slightly busier than I thought I would be today so might not be posting much until later on.
